speaking of crying in movies (see below) ‘eternal sunshine of the spotless mind’ is perhaps one of the most romantic films i have seen.
jim carrey in the process of attempting to erase the memories of his two year long relationship with the fabulous kate winslet discovers that he really does not want the memories to vanish. twisted convoluted stories have always been charlie kaufmans thing (remember ‘being john malkovich) but in this film the clever trick works even better.
the desperate need to cling to what one has, the joy of the silly things that a lover does, to be able to see beyond the irritants, the joy of having experienced both happiness and sadness- basically everything that a romantic movie should be able to do- except that in this case very clever, very funny, very real and very, very good.
and if you were in a relationship that you just want to forget go to -Lacuna Inc - Successfully erasing memories since 2003
